John BARNES greatest goal

Though a Jamaican by birth, Barnes opted to represent the country he had lived in since the age of 12 and was given his England debut by Bobby Robson on 28 May 1983, when he came on as a second half replacement for Watford team-mate Luther Blissett as England drew 0–0 with Northern Ireland in a British Championship match at Windsor Park, Belfast. One year later in a Friendly South America Tour, Barnes show to the world all his qualities with an amazing goal, full of skillness. On 10 June 1984 Barnes scored a goal against Brazil, when he outpaced and out-thought several Brazilian defenders before rounding Roberto Costa and slotting the ball into an empty net during a friendly match at the Estádio do Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro. England won this game 2-0.
